electoral reform
Friday, September 7th, 2007“The system is designed to provide the results you deserve.” Count me as one of those in favour of electoral reform. The ballot question for October 10th is very important and after talking with the Chief Electoral Officer I’m convinvced the education process is in full swing. What I’m not convinced about is apathy. Will enough people find out the details, determine the option they prefer and fill out the ballot. I hope so. The current system doesn’t excite anyone beyond the political junkies. The next general of voters needs to be engaged in the process. Right now, they see the flaws and a bunch of suits. We have to convince them their votes count and their opinions matter. That’s up to all of us, not just a website, YouTube or Facebook. Because if we don’t we have to remember “the system is designed to provice the results you deserve.”
